emails = []
for msg in messagesInfo:
         msgNum = int(split(msg, " ")[0]  # line is missing closing paren
         msgSize = int(split(msg, " ")[1]  # line is missing closing paren,
too
             if(msgSize < 20000):              # this line should not be
further indented
                 messages = server.retr(msgNum)[1]
                 messages = join(message, "\n")
                 emails.append(message)
